Journal overview

Peace Review (PRJ) focuses on the issues and controversies that underlie the promotion of a more peaceful world. We define peace research very broadly to include peace, human rights, development, ecology, culture and related issues - from the micro to the macro, the personal to the planetary. The task of the journal is to present research and thinking in short, accessible and substantive essays, and to offer a scholarly platform for the communication of visual, auditory, and textual commentary on issues about peace, conflict, violence, and nonviolence. This quarterly, multidisciplinary, transnational journal of research, analysis, and reportage aspires to publish issues developed around particular themes; each individual issue includes specific (on-theme), and general (off-theme) materials. We accept submissions for both on and off theme content for each issue.

Queries regarding topical themes from potential Guest Editors should be directed to Editorial @ the PRJ via this email: [email protected].

Peace Review has received several awards and honors, including:

  • Utne Reader’s nomination of Peace Review for the magazine's Annual Independent Press Awards, which honors the very best in independent media from the pool of more than 1,300 sources.
